[camaro7081]

i cooked my top bearing on my 1986 2.4 mercury outboard 200 hp ,and the crank needs to be worked on ,it is no longer smooth needs to be cut . will the crank from my parts motor 1983 2.0 150 hp fit . would it be okay to just put it togheter being that it is a different crank . will all the bearings be okay or what ?????? if the 2.0 crank wont fit my 2.4 the i will have to send out my 2.4 crank to have the top of the crank cut and i will need a different size bearing . the machine shop should know what size . what machine shop ??????????????is it even possible to have the crank cut ????????? what to do ?????????

your 2.0l crank will work in your 2.4l.

If you decide to do the crank call Cy at NEECA. He doesn't weld them up he just turns it and supplies the correct bearing.

your 2.0l crank will work in your 2.4l. thanks for info i will take a good look at the 2.0 crank and if it is in good shape i will probably use it . if not then i will have to find out where to get my 2.4 crank cut !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cy's number is 860-683-1317. I haven't had any cranks done but I know that T-Rex has is pretty pleased with it. I've had a couple of prop shafts done and it was great work and even better service.

i just found out that, one shop said they dont cut the shaft they add metal to make it the original size .$350.00 i will try my 2.0 shaft first . still need to take it out of motor ,and inspect it .

I would not have an outboard crank welded. The weld will not be anywhere near as strong as the base metal (high carbon steel). A weld repair will not survive long against roller bearings. See the NEECA website for how they perform the repair and why grinding is better than welding.

I have a NEECA repaired crank and bearings in one of my 2.5's. I have ran it over 7500 rpm with no problems.

I have a NEECA repaired crank and bearings in one of my 2.5's. I have ran it over 7500 rpm with no problems. i argee 100 percent . i didnt like the idea of what they call adding metal . i know the bearings ride on the crank surface . to bad it wasnt a race that i can simply change !!!!

[camaro7081]

if i use my crank from my 2.0 , will i have to plasti gauge all of the connecting rods , and posibly have them cut .

[camaro7081]

are the connecting rods machined for the crank ? if so then i cant simply change the crank can i !! should i use the connecting rods from the 2.0 L , that is matched to the crank ???

[camaro7081]

looking back at some of my questions i feel like a rookie . now i can answer them for myself , the 2.0 crank works great in my 2.4 , no mic checks i guess being a roller motor no need for mic checks on bearing surfaces unless they look worn . i look every thing over and it all lokked good . run the boat for the second time last week and it is running great. thanks for all the help and thanks to S&f now i begin a 2.5 liter project

[T-REX]

Give Cy a call, He will be glad ta answer any questions U have about Cranks, or any other topic on metal repair...I have several ov hiz cranks in service now, and one in the box wait'in for a hi-rpm application...Juss ain't had tha time ta finish it!!...

Tha thang I like about Cy iz if he don't thank it will be 100%, he won't beet ya around tha bush, he will tell ya wher ya stand....REX

Just put a 2.0 litre crank in a 2.4 bridgeport last year witht the bridgeport rods and bearings for a friend of mine.Motor has already logged quite a bit of hard hrs and runs great.Hydro

I would use the 2 litre!!!( If its good). I have had two cranks sent off in the past and repaired, and both failed within a year. If "CY" turns them down and can somehow match a bearing to fit, that sounds great. I believe that the guy I used spray welded the journals and turned them. That just want hold up. Good luck, J.A.
